Parquet Courts

In February 2014, Parquet Courts played a memorable set at Manchester Academy 2, around the time they were riding the wave of their acclaimed album 'Light Up Gold.' Released in 2013, this record showcased their unique blend of post-punk and art rock, capturing attention with sharp lyrics and infectious melodies. By the time this live recording happened, the band was gaining significant momentum, especially in the indie scene. What’s interesting is how 'Light Up Gold' features some of their most recognizable tracks, like 'Stoned and Starving,' perfectly exemplifying their energetic performance style during this era. It’s fascinating to see how the raw energy of live shows complements their studio work, creating an electrifying atmosphere that resonates in this recording.
